the negroes during the depression lived in conditions. This picture is a great example of people's lives during that time because everyone had financial problems and life was hard for these folks. You can see how the house is beat up and looks like it will come down any second, that is how it was back then. White folks lived in pretty, neat, and well built houses that were located in the community, while black folks lived in house like these and that the end of the community.

What is the physical setting? this is a grocery store.
What, if any, words do you see? i can the name of the store and products sold in the store.
What other details can you see? i can see that clerk in the door and the prices of things and how cheap it looks.
When do you think it was made? this picture was also made during the great depression.
Who do you think was the audience for this image? the people of the town, in this case the clerk.
What tools were used to create this? a black and white camera was used in this process.
Lastly, in this picture, you take a look at how the stores were during the time of the Great Depression. You notice that the clerk of the store is white since black people worked on farms and fields. You can also see how the price of things changed over time, things were in cents back then, which was still pretty expensive but now things cost more than before. Since you make more money these days, i guess it all evens out. Part two B
Secondhand clothing stores and pawn shops on Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee
In this picture, it is ironic because it is segragating white folks. the sign says,"great service, for colored only." I actually kind of like the sign because it kind of shows that the black folks are tired of dealing with all of the nonsense white folks give them, and that they will make thier own, better community. They will be happy with what they have.
At the bus station in Durham, North Carolina
This is a quite interesting picture, first of all it shows you how much there was segregation around the time of the Great Depression by the sign over the man's head. It shows that everything public is split between colored folks, which are black people, and white folks. Water fountains even are split between the two races. The other interesting aspect in the picture is the sign to the man's right, it says "Hitler's love life revealed." that is quite interesting to me because you know that it is around that time too.
People weren't only discriminative to black people. but to indians too! It is very hard for me to understand why people couldn't get along back then. People were really terrible to each other, what would be the difference selling a beer to a black, a white, or an indian? you would be getting the same money from either races. It doesn't make any sense. Part 3
In the exerpts that i read, you can tell that the living back then was very hard since people, even girls, had to work since they were around the age of ten years old. For instance Alice Caudle worked since she was ten years old. she worked in a mill. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/alice.html.
Another interview that shows how terrible the time was back then was that this worker, Jim Cole, tried to join the Union as there butchers and they wouldn't take him because he was a Negro. He even said it himself,"Wouldn't let me in the Union. Never said it to my face, but reason of it was plain. Negro. That's it. Just didn't want a Negro man to have what he should." The Union was racist at that time and that was the case in the interview. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/jimcole.html.
The third interview i chose was from this young man who moved from Florida to New York and he tell us about how the people of New York are bad and violent but although he is a New Yorker, he isnt like them. Hs phrase is, " I am in New York, but New York ain't in me." He is saying that he lives there but isn't the people around him. Also that New York was a dangerous place during that time.http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/manbar.html.
No one trusted other people during that period of time, the maids that people hired, which were based on looks, would be tested with money that was left around purposely. People expected the worse out of each other and life must have been pretty. This time was really bad and terrible things would happen to people. The maid who was being interviewed even said that she was being tested by her owners and that she didnt want to pick up the five dollar bill they had left because she didn't want to risk losing her job. She put it this way, " my face was burning, for I knowed i was getting tested." http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html.
Alot of women were left by their husbands and they had to take care of themselves, like on lady Bernice who was left by her husband in a 60 dollars per month apartment, she threw rent parties. she said that it was how " she started." http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/bernice.html. Part 3B
